>>> REACT HELMET (ASYNC) IS DEAD! LONG LIVE REACT HELMET! <<<

[birdofpreyru]

As you should have noticed already by this point, the original react-helmet library has been long abandoned, unmaintained, and stale. react-helmet-async turned around as its heir and replacement, but it followed the same fate. Some even say that no such library is necessary with React 19+, as it already handles document head's elements natively, although the React team was not that sure about it, saying:

Anyway, I am quite positive I still need React Helmet in my projects, and I need it properly maintained and functioning, thus, as I already commented in some other issue tickets, I took the ownership of the project (or better say, I forked it), and it now lives in birdofpreyru/react-helmet repo, and it is published to NPM as the new @dr.pogodin/react-helmet package. Its version 2.0.4 is just a drop-in replacement of the latest (v2.0.5) version of react-helmet-async; and its version v3 is the beginning of its future evolution under my care.

I am leaving this note here, in case you also need a working and cared for version of React Helmet, to use it in your projects, and possibly to contribute into its further development & maintenance; so now you know where to find it.

Cheers! 🍺 🤠
